Playing Style Profiles

Mario Lemina

Lemina has carved out a second act in Turkish football that quietly tells the story of a midfielder who aged into exactly the role his athleticism once obscured. Operating in the Super Lig's middle tier, his 60.5 passes per 90 places him in the top 10% of league midfielders, and a 90% accuracy rate isn't just volume for volume's sake—it's controlled, functional circulation.

Karol Linetty

Linetty is the kind of midfielder who quietly threads a match together without ever demanding the spotlight — a Polish journeyman who has found a second wind in the Turkish top flight by doing the unglamorous work exceptionally well. His key pass rate lands in the top 30% of Super Lig midfielders, yet his dribble attempts sit in the bottom 10%, which tells you everything: he moves the ball, not himself.
